IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers
Hide about this portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Hi Team,
In current world, we need to use only Management Console for any failures, and it does not have capability to send the logs or metrics to the monitoring tools automatically.
We would like CDC to be easily configurable with other modern monitoring tools and push logs/performance metrics to the monitoring tools such as Splunk, Observe, etc., This will enable to setup dashboards and alerting mechanism.
Thank you!
Davendra, the Instana IBM Infosphere CDC sensor can't be used on IBM i, so it's not an option to us.
Do these capabilities (in Instana) help: these capabilities will help: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=technologies-monitoring-infosphere-cdc ?
I fully support this idea for enhancement. (Neale Armstrong, IBM Australia Technical Sales).
Most enterprise sites will not want to deploy a Windows client (Management Console) in a well-automated production environment. Best practice would be to stream all the operational metadata to a web-based control plane. However, the CHCCLP scripting and Management Console APIs are written to enable a PULL paradigm, rather than a PUSH paradigm.
The PULL paradigm is made more complicated by the fact that the requests to fetch monitoring data are limited to fetch monitoring data a few times, and then stop. So a whole scheduling mechanism needs to be built, as well as directing the command output to somewhere that can be consumed by a web dashboard.
If there was some kind of daemon process within the CDC agents that could push a pre-configured set of operational & monitoring data to a dashboard, it would be far easier for clients to deploy a control plane.
The scope doesn't need to be huge... (a) monitoring data for subscriptions (status, throughput, latency) in a continuous stream plus (b) tailing the execution logs of the the CDC agents in a continuous stream.
This would be an awesome addition to the CDC portfolio, to make it easy for CDC users to configure monitoring dashboards using contemporary tools like Splunk & Observer.
